A simple, no-wiring upgrade that adds serious safety to your RV entry steps. The Lippert 379600 Kwikee step tread bonds directly to existing steps with a self-adhesive backing, providing a non-slip surface and phosphorescent glow strips that charge in daylight and stay visible for hours after dark -- no batteries, no wiring, no hassle.
Slippery RV entry steps are one of the most common causes of RV-related injuries. Whether you are stepping out at a dark campsite or returning after an evening walk, the Lippert 379600 gives your feet a visible, grippy target. The tread bonds to most step surfaces and installs in minutes with no tools.
Phosphorescent stripes absorb energy from natural sunlight or artificial porch lighting during the day and emit a steady glow through the night. Reflective stripes add an extra layer of visibility when a flashlight or headlight sweeps past. Together, these two technologies cover both scenarios -- passive glow when power is off, reflective response when light hits the strip.
Textured grip surface reduces slip risk on metal, plastic, and painted wood entry steps.
Phosphorescent stripes charge under sunlight or artificial light and glow for several hours after dark.
Peel-and-stick installation. No screws, drilling, or tools required. Bonds to most clean, dry step surfaces.
Zero wiring and no batteries. Passive phosphorescent technology works independently of your RV electrical system.
Many RV entry steps -- especially electric Kwikee-style steps -- have exposed metal nosings that become nearly invisible at night. Standard step covers add grip but not visibility. The 379600 combines both in one strip. When your porch light is off or you are boondocking without shore power, the phosphorescent glow tells you exactly where the step edge is.
The glow is entirely photoluminescent -- no LEDs, no power draw from your RV's 12V system. This makes it equally useful on electric steps, folding steps, or fixed exterior stairs on trailers and fifth wheels.
Install on a clean, dry, grease-free step surface for best adhesion. The peel-and-stick backing is designed for firm, lasting contact on metal and hard plastic step surfaces common to Kwikee electric step assemblies and similar OEM steps.
At 6 inches deep by 21 inches wide, this tread is sized to cover the step nosing of most single-width RV entry steps. Measure your step before ordering. If your step is narrower than 21 inches, the tread can be trimmed to fit with standard scissors.
Periodically check adhesive edges for lifting, especially in climates with extreme heat or frequent rain exposure. Press edges back down promptly if lifting begins. Clean the tread surface with mild soap and water to maintain grip effectiveness and glow recharge efficiency.
This listing is for one (1) step tread. Multi-step RV entries will require one tread per step. Order the quantity you need based on your number of entry steps.
